<h1>Southern Asia Studies</h1>

<p>Southern Asia Studies is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program, which provides students with the opportunity to focus their studies on the customs, social organization, 
ideas, historical experiences and present-day conditions of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and their neighbours.  Students with a major or minor in Southern Asia Studies take courses 
in Religion, History, Political Science and other disciplines &#8211; including Film Studies, Economics, Education, Linguistics, English, and Sociology and Anthropology. </p>

<p>The countries of Southern Asia have one-fifth of the world's total population today and possess the heritage of one of the world's oldest civilizations.  
This region is of immense political importance, and religious significance &#8211; made up of communities practicing Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, 
Sikhism, Judaism and Christianity.  People who come from this region, or whose great-grandparents did, are an important part of Canada today, and their 
cultural expressions contribute to the richness of Canadian society.</p>
